One Guy's Viewpoint

Why Did the Rebublican Party Call Me?

Well, I had voted in the Republican primary in 2008 to lend my support to Ron Paul. I voted twice for him, once for President and once for Representative. So, no doubt I had registered Republican, probably shortly after Alvin was reapportioned into Ron Paul's district.

In the 2008 general election, my last vote in Brazoria County, I voted for one Republican (Paul), zero Democrats, and whatever Libertarians (the only other party on the Texas ballot) were running. For President, then, I went for Bob Barr and whoever he had as a running mate.

Even though I hadn't re-registered in McLennon County, I was probably on a list of registered Repubs.

During the campaign of 2004 I kept getting mail from the Republican National Committee asking for money and/or requesting that I volunteer for something. Finally I overwrote one of these, stating my disgust of Bush's reneging on his 2000 pledge to get us out of Bosnia, his two unending wars, and a few other things. I never heard from them again until that call week before last.
